Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! There are so many things that I am thankful for this year. God has blessed me to see another year that was not promised to me. In this economy where financial institutions are going under every other week, I still have my job. There have been numerous layoffs, but I am still employed. I have my health and strength. I could be in my sick bed, but I am up an able. I am thankful for my family and friends. I am thanking God in advance for several petitions I've placed before him. I thank the Lord that I am learning to praise him in spite of conditions and situations. I'm thankful for all that I've gone through this year of new beginnings and am looking forward to a new year of promise and possibilities. This is a new beginning for me in one particular area. I have about 30 pounds that I would like to lose and I'm starting now. I am starting to exercise and to monitor the food I eat. Today is a new day and for that I am thankful!
